Beautiful Birds Around The World - Part #6

#### Hey everyone!

#### This is part #6 of my bird photo series.

#### I took these photos during our trip around the world in 2014.

#### I have lots of bird photos, so I'm gonna split them up into several posts!

#### I can't remember exactly where all the photos were taken, and I'm not sure if I named all the birds correctly. 

#### Please, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes!

#### Do we have any eager birdwatchers here?

#### Which bird in these photos is your favorite?

#### My own favorite is the California Quail in the third photo. I think the topknots on their heads are very beautiful. 

#### You may wonder why they have top knots? Apparently no one knows for sure, but the most common explanation is that the topknot helps attract a mate. A healthy topknot tells a potential suitor that he has excellent genes to pass on to baby chicks.
